The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

"Is it my imagination? After Moritani Teiji's incident, the Phantom Thieves' activity frequency seems to have decreased?"

Tangze, who was eating, first swallowed the food in his mouth steadily to prevent himself from choking on the violent words from the other side. Then he raised his head and silently looked at the primary school student sitting across the table.

"Is there any special reason? Or is the activity in the past period itself a special reason?" The fake primary school student sitting across from him with his arms folded had no intention of letting go of the topic. He stared at him, waiting for him. answer.

"Are you curious about the Phantom Thieves?" Karasawa tilted his head and looked Conan up and down. The meat pie in his mouth did not hinder his clear enunciation. "You often look at me secretly, so I noticed it." .”

In addition to the vest that Karasawa cannot actively pick up, oh, there are also the true appearance of cognitive-related abilities, the real identities of his other teammates, and the connection with Kidd... Karasawa thinks he is a member of the Phantom Thieves I'm pretty honest with Conan.

...Okay, if you count carefully, there are indeed quite a few people who are hiding things from him.

But here we are, the character of the Phantom Thieves in Conan's mouth has been raised from ordinary hot-blooded comic book vigilantes to the level of the Salvation Committee. Karasawa can't ruin it for himself, right?

In short, Tang Ze felt that he was quite unjust about Conan's conjecture.

Especially if you ask him to explain in detail why he does what he does, he really can't.

The Phantom Thieves were born out of Karasawa's own bad taste. If there were no plot references from the original work here, he might have used another form to realize the structure of his power.

Facing Conan's investigation, Tangze felt as helpless as the original author of the reading comprehension question.

Don't ask me, I don't know either...

"Of course I'm curious." Conan shrugged and said frankly, "Your abilities are so strange and your actions are high-profile. It seems that you are involved in a deep secret. As a detective, it is reasonable to want to understand all this."

Joker is a guy who talks in a roundabout way and likes to use all kinds of rhetoric to modify his expressions into clouds and fog to hide the information in his words. In short, he is a Riddler.

Regarding the content related to the Phantom Thieves, even if Joker recognized Conan's analytical skills, when he proposed various conclusions based on various aspects of intelligence, he would give scoring opinions, but he would basically not answer directly on other specific matters.

So even if Conan (thinks he) has analyzed the purpose of the Phantom Thieves' actions and understood the root cause of their opposition to the organization, he still can't help but try to find out everything about the Phantom Thieves.

There was a huge mystery there, and it was almost a detective's instinct to try to figure out how they worked, to figure out the fundamental logic behind their actions.

Joker is not easy to fool, but his teammates, such as Kitagawa Yusuke, seem to be easier to trick.

"You should ask the group leader about those questions." Tang Ze, who continued to eat, replied casually, "He is busy with those things, and I don't know much."

Well, it seems like a rejection, but in fact this kind of shirk can also reflect many problems.

Conan carefully observed Kitagawa Yusuke who was seriously showing off his rice, and silently evaluated it in his heart.

There is a significant difference between Kitagawa Yusuke and the members of the Phantom Thieves that he came into contact with in the past. That is, what he first came into contact with was Kitagawa Yusuke's superficial identity in society.

Joker likes to talk about some mysterious and mysterious things, but it is not difficult to find from his acting style that the Phantom Thieves have an obvious rule, which is to completely obscure the members while maintaining a high profile and popularity. identity of.

Although as an insider of the Phantom Thieves, he has come into contact with many members of the Phantom Thieves, but as a group that occupies newspaper pages all day long, the only image that is truly displayed to the world is Joker.

Considering the Phantom Thieves as masked vigilantes, this choice is actually a bit abnormal.

Looking at Kitagawa Yusuke's behavior and attitude, Conan thought for a moment and boldly made a guess: "So the reason why you joined the Phantom Thieves is because you also have his ability?"

"What kind of ability?" Tangze, who felt that Conan was starting to write strange things in his mind again, raised his head helplessly.

"That's it. It's like that." Conan raised his hand and waved it back and forth over his eyes.

It is true that he has not been exposed to the working situation of the Phantom Thieves, but when Joker appeared and came to the rescue a few days ago, he watched as Joker suddenly changed his clothes and had eye patches on his eyes.

That was not a problem that could be explained by quick disguise or magic. Even though he was in a painful state of unconsciousness because he was about to transform back into a child's body, he was still very confident in his observation skills.

The Phantom Thief of the Heart cannot be regarded as an ordinary person. This is a concept that Conan has made clear.

"Well, that's about right." Feeling that Conan had interpreted something very strange without authorization, Tangze nodded awkwardly and continued stuffing meatloaf into his mouth.

He actually didn't deliberately create the character of Kitagawa Yusuke not having enough to eat this time, but Toru Amuro caught him staying up until early in the morning, followed by busy work, and his brain had been spinning for too long, and he was indeed starving.

As for the detective's guessing game, you can guess as much as you like. The detective's mind has already reached an area that he can't control at all.

"You said before that you had a conflict with your former teacher, who was also your adoptive father, because he plagiarized a student's work. Now the other person has been imprisoned for some reasons. Is this related to the Phantom Thieves?"

"Um."

"Sure enough, identifying members with suitable qualifications when completing the operation should be your main method to attract new members and expand the size of the team."

"yes."

"So, the reason why you approached me as an ordinary person is because you have not abandoned your ordinary social identity and are still a high school student? It seems that those invitation words from joker are not absolute..."

"ah?"

"No wonder those missing 'murderers' were targeted by the joker. It seems you are still quite short of people."

"..."

After struggling to show off the dinner promised by the other party, Tang Ze walked out of the restaurant with a heartbroken look on his face.

I have to draw a portrait, use my identity as the Phantom Thieves to help the detective, and have to listen to your over-interpretation in front of me. It's not easy to eat your meal.

————

"...He really doesn't know much, so you'd better stop trying to trick Yusuke." Sighing sadly, Karasawa said helplessly, "If you have any questions, can't you just ask me directly?"

"I asked you, but you're not willing to tell the truth." Standing in front of the window of the office, Conan looked down at the bustling night scene of Mihua Shopping Street and said directly, "That time you made me smaller two days ago, what on earth was it? The principle, you are completely unwilling to tell me."

Having said this, he touched the small plastic box deep in his pocket, glanced at Mao Lilan who was humming a song and cleaning the table with the corner of his eye, and smacked his lips.

Now, Xiaolan has a deep understanding of his identity issue and has given him a certain degree of understanding.

This is certainly a good thing, but awkwardness can still be awkward.

Mao Lilan adjusted faster than he thought, as if he had already prepared the draft, just waiting to get an answer from him, and then he could implement it step by step.

First of all, the privilege of sleeping in the same bed is definitely gone. Mao Lilan used her recent psychology consultation and found that the gender consciousness of elementary school students has been established, and she should not treat Conan as a child who doesn't understand anything. As a reason, Mao Lilan successfully asked Mao Li Kogoro to change He bought a sofa that could be used as a bed and assigned him a bed.

When talking on the phone and chatting with Yuanzi, I will also start to consciously avoid him, unlike in the past because he is a child and I am not on guard.

But at the same time, she really began to naturally regard Edogawa Conan as a real elementary school student, holding hands and hugging without any ambiguity, and she was more calm than before.

Oh, by the way, Xiaolan has also learned a new skill set now, for example, she is getting better and better at "talking to herself".

When she wants to talk to Kudo Shinichi's identity, she will directly say that she suddenly wants to contact Shinichi, Conan, do you think he is free to answer the phone now? In other words, I don’t know what Shinichi thinks about this issue.

This was no longer a subtext, it was an explicit statement. Conan could only hold the voice changer dejectedly and call her from another place.

Well, it's strange to have to call each other even though we are under the same roof and everyone knows it well. It feels like the operator is making money.

Feeling the urgent desire from his tone, Tang Ze wordlessly changed his shoulder to hold the phone, and said directly: "You just want to ask me, can you still do this now, can you become an adult again, yes Bar?"

"So, can you?" Conan asked expectantly.

This is a threat, a naked threat. It almost means that if you want me to harass your team members less, then you have to show it.

"Is it fun to change? I just used some means to change the candidates for the drug to take effect. Every time it changes, the pain and high temperature must be endured. You have experienced it yourself." Let go. With the report in his hand, Tangze's answer was very helpless.

According to Haihara Ai's method, the principle of APTX4869 is relatively complicated, and he did not delve into it, but in short, every change is like a complete reset of a person's physical state.

No matter what method the change relies on, whether it is a short-term suppression effect with an antidote, or whether the immune mechanism is accidentally triggered by Lao Baigan, every time it will be like the first change, and you will experience the torture of severe pain and fever.

After layering such thick nails, the pain was still heartbreaking. It was hard to imagine how Haihara Ai and Conan were able to hold on.

Although Karasawa has a high tolerance for pain, it doesn't mean that he likes to play with himself a few times when he has nothing to do. Conan has experienced it so many times and is still so proactive. Could it be that he is really trembling?

"So, your answer is yes?" Hearing the subtext in his words, Conan's voice suddenly became excited.

He had a careful discussion with Haiyuan about the antidote. Because she was not sure whether the mechanism of the antidote was really correct in reversing the effect of drug A, she was conservative about the temporary antidote and did not recommend that he take it too many times.

Regardless of other problems, if he eats too much and he really gets antibiotics, there will be no chance for him to find a second antibiotic.

But the method used by joker is obviously different, and no drugs are used at all. In this case, wouldn't this problem be avoided?

"...It's true. If it doesn't take more than 20 minutes, I can make you change back briefly." He was sure that the detective on the other side of the phone would not let go if he bit his tongue. Tangze could only say frankly, "But I won't You are allowed to mess with this mechanism. Please, it will hurt if you change back and forth, won’t I?”

"It would be nice if I could change back!" After receiving the confirmation from the other party, Conan's mood became high, and he obviously didn't listen to the second half of what he said. "We are going to Karuizawa for vacation in a few days. Can you come with us?"

Karasawa's eyebrows jumped wildly: "Karuizawa... are you going to escape the heat? It's not that hot yet, right?"

"I'm not going, it's Uncle Maori who is going. You must be coming anyway, right?" Conan looked very enthusiastic, "We can test it again!"

"I think you want to go swimming with Miss Lan." Tang Ze revealed ruthlessly, "Don't even think about it. The principle of using my ability is the same as your antidote. I won't use it randomly unless necessary. .”

You don't like to be a child, do you think I like to be a child?

And to be honest, after Noah uploaded the photos he took to Kaitou Line, it caused an uproar in the group. Miyano Akemi felt sad for a long time after learning that she could only maintain the condition for 20 minutes and would change back soon. time.

If she was given the chance to catch the 7-year-old version of herself, God knows what would happen.

Tangze, who had more or less experienced a normal childhood, knew how female elders would torment children, and he couldn't help but shudder if he just imagined it.

It's too terrible, and must not be seen by Sister Mingmei.

Of course, not even if other people see you.

There are enough embarrassing photos of him already, I really don’t want to add to their inventory.

"I didn't think so." Conan firmly denied it. "You said it yourself. We will inform you of any itinerary."

"You better really be." Karasawa rolled his eyes, but his hand movements honestly began to look through the calendar and began to think about how the Phantom Thieves allocate their time.

Although he only heard a place name, he couldn't confirm which case it was for the time being, but Mouri Kogoro was fine when he was at home. There must be a case when he travels a little far away. This is a sure thing.

Zhu Fu Jingguang has indeed collected enough desire stones and has entered the intelligence collection stage, but there are other targets later.

If you can pick one up, it’s one.

Moreover, since it is Karuizawa, the police officer who came to the case will definitely not be Megure and the others, it should be...

After thinking about it quickly in his mind for a while, Karasawa turned around his schedule even faster.

Yamamura Cao belongs to Gunma Prefecture Police Station and often appears at the junction of Nagano Prefecture and Gunma Prefecture. Since his idols are Mouri Kogoro and Kudo Yukiko, and his IQ is not high, he is considered a policeman who is particularly easy to fool.

If he remembered correctly, although Yamamura Cao had mediocre abilities and unremarkable appearance, he had a characteristic that was crucial to them now.

He seems to be one of the only playmates Zhu Fu Jingguang had in his childhood...
